Objective

This project investigates 'sous-vide' foods in order to improve their safety and quality. Thereby the microbiological safety is the prime concern of this proposal. A dynamic mathematical model of the inactivation, survival and growth of pathogens will be developed to predict their behaviour and aid in the optimisation of 'sous-vide' processes.
